2 Paediatric Antibiotic prescribing guideline Resistance to antibiotics is now recognised as a maj risk to the future health of the wld population. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention treatment of ever-increasing infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses fungi. This threat is now deemed so serious that it is included on the National Risk Register. One method to help reduce antimicrobial resistance is to ensure appropriate prescription administration of empiric antibiotics. The Oxfd AHSN has a geographical footprint that includes five hospitals with paediatric inpatients providing an opptunity f the Children s Netwk to wk with local paediatricians, pharmacists microbiologists to harmonise local prescribing guidelines. We asked the microbiologists to check that there were no local resistance patterns that might preclude harmonisation. Once this was confirmed, we conducted a gap analysis of the five hospitals antibiotic guidelines to identify differences in prescribing practices. We brought together pharmacists, paediatricians microbiologists from each of the five hospitals reached agreement on the optimum prescribing practice f those areas where differences existed. Subsequent min amendments were agreed the revised guideline has now been adopted by each hospital. Start Smart, Then Focus Review all antibiotics after the 1st hours accding to microbiology results Sepsis < 1 month admitted from the community (If on neonatal unit refer to neonatal guidelines) 1-3 months > 3 months First line IV Cefotaxime IV Amoxicillin See BNFC f neonatal doses IV Cefotaxime 50mg/kg QDS Consider switching to IV Ceftriaxone if not receiving IV Calcium (max. 4g) Allergy* Severe Penicillin allergy, consider: IV Chlamphenicol 25mg/kg single dose Consider: IV Vancomycin 15mg/kg TDS IV Gentamicin 7mg/kg single dose (max. 560mg) Meningitis 1-3 months IV Cefotaxime 50mg/kg QDS IV Amoxicillin 50mg/kg QDS Non severe IV Cefotaxime 50mg/kg QDS Magdalen Centre Nth, 1 Robert Robinson Avenue, Oxfd Science Park, OX4 4GA, United Kingdom Consider switching to IV Ceftriaxone if not receiving IV Calcium Severe Penicillin allergy consider: IV Chlamphenicol 25mg/kg QDS t: +44(0) e: info@oxfdahsn.g Follow Follow > 3 months F severe Penicillin allergy consider IV Chlamphenicol 25mg/kg QDS 1 PAEDIATRIC ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIBING GUIDELINE PAEDIATRIC ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIBING GUIDELINE 2

Life-threatening Airway / Breathing / Circulation problems 3. Skin / mucosal changes (flushing, urticaria, angioedema) The following suppts the diagnosis: Exposure to a known allergen f the patient Remember: Skin mucosal changes alone are not a sign of an anaphylactic reaction Skin mucosal changes can be subtle absent in up to 20% of reactions (some patients have only a decrease in blood pressure, i.e., a Circulation problem) There can also be gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. vomiting, abdominal pain, incontinence) 9 PAEDIATRIC ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIBING GUIDELINE PAEDIATRIC ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIBING GUIDELINE 10
